Transformative Psychological Services for Individuals, Couples and Organizations

Thrive in your wild.

Are you adrift after trauma, moral distress, or loss?

Whether you’re an individual seeking healing, a couple rebuilding connection, or an organization facing complex challenges, you deserve a guide who meets you with creativity, rigor, and authenticity.

You want a psychologist who’s as courageous and adventurous as you are—someone who can meet you in the pit and help you emerge stronger.

You’re seeking a guide who understands the depths of human experience and honors your drive, doubts, and complexity. With expertise in trauma, moral injury, grief, and life transitions, I offer evidence-based therapy and creative exploration—tailored for high-performing, sometimes reluctant or ambivalent adventurers like you.

Begin Your Adventure

  • Step into the wild unknown—schedule a call. Bring your questions, hopes, doubts, and any dragons or creepy caves you’re facing. We’ll explore how this process—evidence-based strategies blended with creative exploration—can help you navigate obstacles and move toward the outcomes you want.

  • We’ll explore your terrain, and identify your goals and challenges together. You’ll receive a personalized, evidence-based plan—crafted with both science and soul—to guide your resilience journey.

  • In each session, we’ll combine proven strategies with creative exploration—imaginative play, spiritual inquiry, and practical tools—getting right to the heart of your struggles. The aim: real progress, deeper connection, and a renewed sense of purpose you’ll notice in daily life.

At the Crossroads of Two Diverging Paths

One path keeps you circling old patterns—unaddressed trauma, loss, and moral injury can leave you isolated, disconnected, and stuck. The pain lingers, relationships strain, and your sense of purpose dims. As Richard Rohr has stated, “pain that is not transformed gets transmitted.”

The other path asks for courage. It’s not easy—real change never is. Yet on the far side of the work, you find resilience, deeper connection, and a renewed sense of self. You navigate challenges with clarity. Relationships deepen. You rediscover your wild, creative edge. You reclaim emotional sovereignty.

The choice is yours: remain where you are, or step forward and discover the life you want to show up for.

Why Work With Dr. Lusk?

As a board-certified clinical psychologist, national trainer, and founder of Oregon Veteran Surf Club, I blend evidence-based methods with creative exploration. I help clients and organizations achieve real transformation through active, imaginative partnership.

I work best with those ready to venture into the depths, face hard truths, and uncover hidden strengths. Sessions draw from clinical research, proven therapies, ancient wisdom, poetry, nature, and—most importantly—your own “inner knower.”

If you’re wrestling with trauma, moral injury, grief, betrayal, or feeling lost, I’ll meet you with directness, humor, and genuine partnership. Sessions are efficient, purposeful, and adventurous.

Your story is honored. Your defenses are respected. You can integrate what’s been fragmented and reconnect with your vitality. You don’t have to do this alone—or settle for boring therapy. If you’re ready to go deep and embrace a little adventure, I’m ready to go with you.

  • "This was an excellent workshop. I found Dr Lusk to be very knowledgeable and committed to her work, and, at the same time, completely unpretentious, approachable, and flexible in her approach to the material, teaching, and the participants."

  • "You have made a huge difference in my life. You helped me to be more compassionate. You are straightforward without making me feel judged. You infuse difficult sessions with humor and kindness. Thank you for helping me feel safe, valued, and respected. You helped me bushwack a new path to be able to move forward on."

    —Former Client

  • "Dr. Lusk absolutely delivered. This was one of the more important sessions we’ve had as an organization. What stood out to me is that her message isn’t peripheral to what we do; it’s central. We spend a tremendous amount of time on product, process, and production; Dr. Lusk had us examining how we think, how we respond, how we show up in front of clients and each other."
